The English Surgeon

A good documentary does more to stimulate my mind than the best fictional films. The English Surgeon is above and beyond a spectacular documentary. Most scriptwriters couldn't dare compete with the sheer drama and uncomfortable tension filmmaker Geoffrey Smith captures in his real-life story of English neurosurgeon Henry Marsh, who became fed up with the inability of Ukrainian doctors to treat patients in need of brain operations and decided to do something about it. When a young Ukrainian man needs an operation to remove a tumor in his brain, Doctor Smith is his only hope for long-term survival. Unfortunately for this patient, modern luxuries are nowhere to be found in modern-day Ukraine and the only the way the operation can move forward is by using nothing but local anesthetics to reduce the pain of drilling thru the scull and scraping away the cancerous cells growing on his brain--In other words, doing the entire operation while completely awake and conscious. Beyond the unbelievable situations throughout the film, the simple message of humanitarianism shines.  In today's consumerist smorgasbord of a world we live in, it can be easy to forget the simple things that make being a fellow human being a rewarding experience. This film helps remind us. -Clayton Hauck

More from Mexico..

Along with my digital SLR I had my Yashica T4 (35mm), which I managed to lose at airport at the end of the trip (it was a bad trip for my cameras apparently). The 2 rolls I managed not to lose contained these photos...

There was a protest in front of Bellas Artes which featured a few hundred nearly naked and fully naked people. The women were fully nude and went around asking for donations while the men picketed in the streets. It was quite a sight!

Estadio Azteca. Apparently the 4th largest stadium in the world. It holds nearly 120,000 people and it was about full for this match. Insane. This was at the very end of the game. The local team lost and people threw stuff onto the field, but there were no riots. Outside the stadium, a hundred or so riot police stood guard. They don't fuck around with soccer in Mexico.

This place had the best tacos I've ever eaten, and is one of the cities most famous taquerias. Open 24 hours with a drive in parking lot.
